United States Department of Agriculture notes a sanitation method for sows and young pigs reduces worm infections and increases gains. Illinois farmers report higher weights, lower costs, and faster market readiness. The approach centers on clean farrowing houses, thorough sow scrubbing, and avoiding contact with contaminated hog-lot soil until pigs reach four months.

Rape as Superior Pasture Crop for Pigs
Feeding trials at Iowa and Ohio stations show rape pasture yields and efficiency matching alfalfa for fattening pigs on corn and tankage, with comparable gains and feed use. Alfalfa adds soil benefits and hay production, which rape lacks. If alfalfa or clover aren’t available, rape remains a strong option, especially after July 1 when it outperforms bluegrass.

Orchards Need Repairs Across Fruit Regions

Prevent Cows From Hating Garlic Tops
Bureau of dairying findings show garlic flavor in milk depends on time after feeding. Milk tastes strongly 10 minutes after feeding and persists for hours, but diminishes as milking time draws near. Inhalation of garlic also transfers flavor to milk. 90 minutes after inhalation the milk is nearly free of odor. Bulletin 1826 available free while supplies last.

Trapping and Poisoning for Gopher Control
Trapping and poisoning are recommended methods for controlling gophers, per Iowa State College entomologist Fred D. Butcher. Use traps in runways to supplement other measures and employ special pocket gopher traps. For poison baits, cut sweet potatoes carrots or parsnips into one inch by half inch pieces, wash and drain, then mix one eighth ounce of powdered strychnine per gallon of bait. Drop one or two bait pieces into runways two feet from each mound, locating runways with a probe and closing holes after inserting bait.

Poultry Yard Management and Disease Prevention Advice
Poultry producers should rotate yard space to reduce disease, using double yards for green feed and south-facing dry ground. Provide shade, adequate square footage per bird, and use trees or artificial shade. Hatch best eggs with mother hens or incubators, clean and disinfect houses, avoid artificial lights until birds respond, and ensure ventilation to prevent dampness and respiratory disease.

Sunlight a Panacea for All Kansas Hen Flocks
Professor L. F. Payne of Kansas State Agricultural College says sunlight or the ultraviolet ray, or cod liver oil vitamens, boost egg production and general vigor in hens. Experiments show open-air houses yield heavier pullets with fewer cold spells and molts compared to glass-front houses, suggesting direct sunshine is more beneficial than indoor exposure.
